100 years ago-in 1913 - democracy embodied in the presidency of Francisco I. Madero succumbed to the violence that had characterized Mexico during the previous century. Dead by the hands of the usurper President Victoriano Huerta, Venustiano Carranza -countryman of Madero-, led a revolution whose result would be the 1917 Constitution. Madero and Carranza, not only different in character but opposite in their beliefs, played a significant role on the public life of the nation, and in the crucial year of 1913 they sowed the seed of two Mexican aspirations: democracy and legality.
